We have a 2mt one in our kitchen and it is brilliant.
5mt seems very long for a caravan!

Yes I've got them in mine. They seem ok however if you link any more than 1 they start to flash! Something to do with the DC output? Sorry not an electrician so maybe someone with more knowledge in that front could help.
I put them round the pelmet and the seating just under the lip. All in 2 1/2 lengths with 3 transformers again even though I am using individual transformers any longer on the third length and the flashing starts?
But on a whole I'm delighted with them so far.

Sorry acano, but why are you using a transformer when they are generally 12 volt?

Some electronic lighting transformers have problems with LEDs.
When I changed my bathroom lights (at home not caravan) to LED they would come on then go off a random time later. I put one halogen back to create a load and get them working until I fitted a conventional transformer. In a caravan a transformer isn't needed, run directly off the 12v system. The strips can be cut to any length

Sorry should have stated I have a hobby caravan that only has 240v all the 12v lighting is done through transformers. However the transformers were all starting to fail so I started changing the lights over to LED thus having to change from AC to DC transformers bought specifically for the LED's from the same seller
